Chapter 928 Private Trade Fair Part 2

The bearded man hesitated.

Luo Fu held his breath and waited for the result. Others continued to drink red wine and smoke cigars. They didn't seem to be in a hurry to ask the price of the things they liked. The women also tried to keep their movements and voices as low as possible. And many women looked at the female companions around the bearded man with some envy.

However, the envy can be hidden now. If the bearded man can really take the brooch and give it to his female companion, then there will definitely be many women who will show their envy. Or it is not impossible to pass a note to the bearded man in private.

Rubbing the beard on his face, he hesitated for a moment. As if he felt the strange eyes of the women around him, he suddenly showed a free and easy smile.

"Okay, let's take this price. Although I can buy a bigger sapphire for 150,000 pounds, things that have been worn by the princess or even the queen cannot be compared in size."

"You are absolutely right." Luo Fu, who held his breath, was overjoyed and almost knelt down to hand the things over, so that the bearded man immediately transferred the money.

However, he still tried his best to hold back his excitement, picked up the jewelry box and personally handed it to the bearded man. He could accept either transfer or cash.

But transfer was obviously not something that could be done now, and it needed to be done at the bank. So the bearded man waved his hand and directly signed a check for Luo Fu. This thing was much more convenient in Europe and the United States than going to the bank to transfer money.

He took the check with both hands. Although he did not check it carefully in his hands, Luo Fu still confirmed the number on the check in a very short time, and then carefully put the check away.

As for the authenticity of the check, this was the least worrying thing. He knew the identity of the bearded man. His family was in the real estate business and he was also a person in the circle. If he dared to give a fake check, the reputation he lost would be much more than 150,000 pounds.

With the bearded man taking the lead, and the fingers of the female companion beside him sliding on the body very gently. The things in the area of ​​​​placement and collection were frequently asked for the price, and then the deal was made.

Just like what the bearded man said, this kind of thing with historical background is definitely not a thing that can be measured by size. For example, you wear a brooch that has a history and has even been worn by the Queen to attend a dinner.

Everyone will feel that you are more stylish when wearing this brooch, rather than the one who spent 1.6 million to buy the brooch.

Of course, there are also those who did not make a deal after the final inquiry, which makes many women feel very disappointed, but dare not express too much.

Jewelry is just an appetizer, with the highest transaction price at 310,000 pounds, and the lowest is about 50,000 or 60,000 pounds. The really expensive things are those things that men are interested in.

For example, the cross sword is said to be the sword of the Paladin in the medieval church legend. After the death of the Paladin, the sword was handed over to a great leader of the church and kept in the church for blessing.

As for whether this kind of blessing is a blessing, an affirmation of the Paladin's record. Or is it similar to the Chinese monk chanting sutras for the dead to save the souls on the sword, it is unknown.

In short, all the people in the room who came to the trade fair, except Yang Dongxu, even Toy were extremely interested in this sword, and the price of this sword quickly soared to 1.9 million pounds.

Generally speaking, people in the same circle are invited to such small trade fairs. It is not certain who knows who, but it is rare to see such a situation of competing for the price.

Basically, after one person asks the price, others will just watch with a smile if they don't really want it. As for whether the owner who sells things without bidding will lose money?

Of course not, because the price he offers is the price he wants to sell it at. If someone bids more, he will be happy. If it is sold at a slightly lower price, he can accept it.

For example, Luo Fu originally planned to buy this sword for 1 million pounds, which is an extremely satisfactory price for him who is about to go bankrupt.

He never thought that the price would be almost doubled to 1.9 million. The smile on his happy face was almost squeezed together.

"Is this a particularly famous sword?" Yang Dongxu asked Toy in a low voice.

Even if the bidders are sure that this sword is indeed the sword of the Paladin during the war, it is not King Arthur's sword in the stone, or the sword of a particularly famous pope, but just a Paladin sword.

There were at least 8,000 paladins in the church back then, right? After all, they formed an army to march east. When it was 1.2 million pounds, Yang Dongxu felt that the price was too high. Who would have thought that it would be raised to 1.9 million pounds now?

"The great leader who blessed this sword lived to be 102 years old. And the paladin who used this sword was a judgement knight who killed heretics and evil creatures.

Putting such a weapon at home can gather good luck and dispel the ghosts in the house, so that the devil cannot get close." Troy said, and his eyes were still fixed on the cross sword even when he was talking to him.

Yang Dongxu was stunned when he heard such an explanation, and he looked like you foreigners are so superstitious.

But if you think about it carefully, most foreigners believe in God, and isn't God a god? It seems to be no different from the so-called superstitious worship of gods in China?

The only reason for the astonishment on his face is probably more because this cross sword that should have killed people is regarded as a Feng Shui magic weapon by these foreigners.

It can gather luck and drive away evil spirits. If this isn’t a Feng Shui tool, what is it?

So foreigners also practice Feng Shui?

"Is it really that powerful?" Yang Dongxu couldn't help but ask one more question.

Feng Shui is something that you can believe in or not believe in. It is actually contradictory sometimes. For example, some things are indeed superstitious, but metaphysics seems to be a decent doctrine, and many superstitious things are extensions based on metaphysics. In short, it is very complicated and contradictory. Anyway, no one can clearly explain it now.

"Do you want it too?" Toy turned his head and looked at Yang Dongxu.

"No." Yang Dongxu shook his head. Even if he believed in this thing, he would go back and look for powerful Feng Shui instruments in his collection.

Instead of taking this foreign devil's thing to see if it can change China's Feng Shui, kill Chinese evil demons, etc. There are many ways to verify it if you really want to. There is no need to spend money to try it now. More importantly, even if you spend money to buy it back, except for a little comfort, no one can tell clearly whether it is useful or not.

So he didn't have much enthusiasm for buying, but he still asked casually, "Are you sure it's real?"

"When Luo Fu was going to hold this trade fair to sell his grandfather's collection, I asked someone about it. This sword is indeed in his house, and it must be the sword in front of him. There is a note next to the sword. Luo Fu doesn't have the courage to take out a fake one to deceive people." Troy said.

Yang Dongxu nodded, regardless of superstition or not. He still has some experience in judging people, which he learned from Old Man Xuan, although there is a big difference between foreigners and Chinese people.

But the expression and eyes, as well as the usual behavior, the personality traits that are invisibly expressed are actually similar. Luo Fu is the kind of person who enjoys pleasure and is not very bold. Such people may choose to commit suicide when they are poor, but they definitely don't have the courage to kill and rob.

At the same time, Luo Fu sold these assets in order to get through the current difficulties, and then see if he can make a comeback and recreate the family's former glory. If he dares to use fake things to deceive people, especially this kind of thing that everyone cares about and is regarded as a "magic weapon" to gather luck and drive away demons, then he will not know how to make a comeback, let alone die.

People who can spend millions of pounds to buy a cross sword that can comfort people at most, don't mind spending a little more money to let Luo Fu see God.

"Luo Fu has this thing, so why did his family decline?" Yang Dongxu asked again without thinking.

"It's different, or he didn't enjoy the fate of the benefits brought by this thing. Ordinary people take a hundred dollars and think about what to eat in the morning, noon and evening for how many days, but smart people will choose to use a hundred dollars to make more hundred dollars." Troy said.

Yang Dongxu looked at Troy speechlessly, and instantly didn't know what to say. This explanation reminded him of some Jianghu fortune tellers who read people's fortunes. In short, no matter what he said, he could always make it up.

You said all the words about "the treasure is the behavior of a virtuous person", what else can he say?

People are like this, they always feel that they are luckier and more capable than others. If Toy's vision will be improved after buying this sword, or this sword will work.

If it is plain and there is no improvement as before, then maybe he has not absorbed the luck gathered by this sword, and he needs to work hard to play with it every day.

As for if he suddenly encounters a loss in investment and his family declines like Luo Fu, it is probably because he wanted to forcibly absorb the luck of this sword, but was backfired by this sword.

In short, it is right and reasonable.

So. Just be happy!

Looking at the people who were originally drinking and smoking cigars in harmony, they were blushing because of this sword. Yang Dongxu looked at Luo Fu's collections with a bored look.

He didn't like those Chinese porcelains, and foreigners didn't like jade. They liked gems and diamonds, so Luo Fu didn't have these things in his collection, so he set his sights on bronzes.

Many bronzes are covered with patina, and they are of different sizes and shapes, some of which are strange and bizarre. For example, many European artists like to use naked men or women to express their inner thoughts and artistic beauty.

This is true for oil paintings, some sculptures, and figure sculptures. For example, many angels are portrayed without clothes. Do mortals need to wear clothes?

Yang Dongxu paused as he looked at them. In the corner of a group of dirty-looking bronzes, a black object was discarded in the corner.

At first glance, Yang Dongxu couldn't tell what it was because it fell to the ground. He kept tilting his head to look at it from different angles. He saw a short and thick bird beak, which made him interested.

Snap!

He tilted his head to look at it from another angle, and bumped into something. It was soft and elastic. After he accidentally bumped into it, it trembled like a super-large jelly.
